Chapter [315] Decisive Battle At Poyang Lake
Cao Cao was so dizzy, but everyone was shocked, thinking that Cao Cao was going to die of anger.
Dian Wei on the side was very calm, and directly supported Cao Cao. Guo Jia quickly explained to everyone: "You have a headache, you have an old problem, you don't have to worry, my lord will take it easy for a while."
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but seeing that Dian Wei and Guo Jia were very calm, they gradually felt relieved.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Cao Cao to wake up by himself.
"Ah... I made everyone laugh, I'm sick." Cao Cao said, straightening up slowly.
"Cao Gong, do you need to see a doctor?" Zhou Yu couldn't help asking.
As the host, it is natural to show concern for the allies who have come from afar. Sun Ce doesn't understand these people's sophistication, so Zhou Yu can only do it for him himself.
"No, just calm down." Cao Cao waved his hand.
The wind in the head is indeed an old problem, especially it is not the first time to be fainted by Lu Bu, Cao Cao himself is used to it.
"Everyone, in my opinion, let's launch an attack on Lu Bu as soon as possible." Cao Cao said, "This villain is unscrupulous, if the disaster ends in Xuzhou, and then goes to the Central Plains to make trouble, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Especially if this villain is confusing his eyes, what should he do if he uses the name of Xuande or Bofu to go to the Central Plains to cause chaos?"
Everyone's face changed when they heard the words, especially Liu Bei who cherished feathers. If he was really framed like this, Liu Bei would die.
Moreover, the Central Plains has no danger to defend, and the cavalry is like a tiger with wings added to the 590 Central Plains, and no one can stop the destruction.
"If Jiangdong cannot be conquered before the autumn harvest, the crops in the Central Plains and Xuzhou will be destroyed by then, and we will fall into a situation of insufficient food and grass." Cao Cao said with a serious face.
After Cao Cao's reminder, everyone felt a sense of urgency.
"Gong Jin, you are the commander-in-chief in this battle, what do you think is the right thing to start?" Liu Bei couldn't help asking.
Everyone looked at Zhou Yu, waiting for Zhou Yu to give an answer.
"At the turn of spring and summer, one summer is enough to fight against Lu Bu." Zhou Yu continued: "In summer, the water level of the Yangtze River is high and the current is strong, so it is most suitable for fighting on water."
The understanding of hydrological conditions is also an essential quality for an excellent naval commander.
"That's not too long, let's start preparing for the battle now." Zhuge Liang said.
Cao, Liu, and Sun had no objections, and Jingnan immediately entered the state of war preparations, dispatching food and grass, ordnance, and maintaining and repairing warships.
Jiangdong, Moling.
Sun Shangxiang was half-lying on the imperial concubine's couch with her already bloated belly, and her long, slender and round legs also began to swell at this moment.
Lu Bu sat cross-legged on the side of the imperial concubine's couch, with his big hands up and down Sun Shangxiang's legs, using massage to relieve the swelling of his legs.
After being proficient in medical skills, Lu Bu will use this method to help his wives and concubines get pregnant in this way.
"Does it feel better?" Lu Bu asked while kneading.
(aeai) "It's a lot~" Sun Shangxiang's tone revealed comfort, and then turned to concern: "Husband, don't be tired."
Lu Bu is strong enough to carry a tripod, how can he be tired from massage?
But Lu Bu didn't argue, instead he smiled and said, "Madam Xie is concerned."
"Husband, will this concubine be too fat?" Sun Shangxiang looked at her increasingly thick legs, fearing that Lu Bu would not like it in the future.
"It doesn't matter if you're fat. My husband likes fat ones. It's very comfortable to touch."
Lu Bu didn't open his eyes to talk nonsense, making excuses such as not being fat, and directly saying that he likes fat people.
Sun Shangxiang smiled happily when she heard the words, her eyes narrowed into two crescent moons, and she enjoyed Lu Bu's kneading with happiness on her face.
"Come here." Lu Bu suddenly called out.
A maid quietly appeared outside the door, waiting for Lu Bu's dispatch.
"Go to the front yard and tell General Gao Shun to wait for a while." Lu Bu ordered.
Although no one informed him, Lu Bu already knew that Gao Shun was coming.
"No." The maid was not surprised, she was already used to this kind of order.
"Husband, General Gao Shun must have something to do when he came to see you, so don't delay." Sun Shangxiang persuaded.
"It's not too late, I'll talk after the doctor gives Madam a handshake.
Gao Shun's footsteps were not hurried, and even if something happened, it would not be an emergency.
Seeing that Lu Bu loves her so much, Sun Shangxiang feels like eating honey in her heart. All the past has long been thrown out of the sky, and she just wants to sink into Lu Bu's tenderness, don't care about anything, don't have to think about it, and enjoy it to the fullest.
After Lu Bu finished pinching, Sun Shangxiang had fallen asleep comfortably, with a vague smile still on the corner of his mouth.
Bringing a thin silk quilt to cover the white thighs, covering the infinite spring, Lu Bu turned and left the room.
When he came to the front hall, Gao Shun was drinking tea leisurely, and was about to get up when he saw Lu Bu coming in.
"Sit down, don't be too polite in private." Lu Bu said with a wave of his hand.
Gao Shun hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, but sat down anyway, and bowed his hands in salute.
"What's the matter?" Lu Bu asked after sitting down.
"There is a situation in Jingnan, and we have already started preparing for the battle. It seems that the war will start soon." Gao Shun informed Lu Bu of the situation.
"Does Boyan know?" Lu Bu asked back.
"At the end of the future, someone has been sent to notify."
"Here we come." Just as Gao Shun finished speaking, Lu said inconveniently.
Gao Shun heard the words and looked outside, and after a while, he saw Lu Xun and Gan Ning coming together.
"Meet the king."
"sit."
After the two sat down, Lu Bu said, "I think you all know the news, Bo Yan, you are the commander of this water battle, how do you think we should deal with it?"
Lu Xun came here for this reason, so he had already prepared a draft, and immediately answered: "Poyang Lake."
After a pause, Lu Xun continued: "The locations of Jiangdong and Jingnan are upstream and downstream from the perspective of water warfare."
"Jingnan is upstream and we are downstream. In terms of water potential, we are at a natural disadvantage."
The upstream can go down the river, while the downstream can only go upstream, the superiority is obvious.
"If we want to avoid this disadvantage, let's enter Poyang Lake first, set the location of the decisive battle at Poyang Lake, and start the war in the lake. Naturally, it doesn't matter whether the upstream or downstream is the same, and the natural advantages and disadvantages brought about by the water potential of both sides will be smoothed out. Back to the same starting line." Lu Xun was afraid that Lu would not understand, so he explained it in great detail.
Even a layman like Lu Bu nodded his head again and again, thinking that what Lu Xun said was quite reasonable.
There is still a difference between the current Poyang Lake and the later Poyang Lake. The current Poyang Lake is named Peng Lize, and the Yangtze River passes through the middle of Peng Lize, and the later Poyang Lake is on the south of the Yangtze River.
"How's the naval drill going?" Lu Bu asked further.
"After half a year of training, all of them are qualified sailors." Lu Sun was full of confidence.
Entry-level sailors, qualified sailors, and elite sailors progress in order.
The Jiangdong naval forces under Sun Ce are naturally all elite naval forces.
Now Lu Bu's 100,000 Qin troops have all been trained by Lu Xun to become qualified sailors.
Cao Cao's subordinates have been trained by Zhou Yu for a long time, so they can be regarded as entry-level sailors.
As for Liu Bei, he left for Jingnan after the spring plowing. He can only be said to be a pawn who does not get seasick, and he cannot be called a water house at all.
"In terms of military strength, we have 100,000 troops, while the three coalition forces have 90,000."
"In terms of ordnance, our ships are not good, but our bows and crossbows are better."
Lu Bu looked at Lu Xun while talking, and asked, "Bo Yan, are you confident in this battle?"
"Yes! Your Majesty, don't worry, you won't be able to cut off the heads of your ministers!" Lu Xun also showed strong self-confidence as the battle was imminent.
"Okay! Gu formally appoints you as the commander of the three armies. From top to bottom, including the king, everyone will obey your order!" Lu Bu solemnly promised that this is to support Lu Xun again.
As he spoke, Lu couldn't untie the green sword at his waist, and said in a deep voice, "Take the sword! Anyone who dares to disobey the military order, beheaded!"
Lu Xun came to Lu Bu and knelt down, raised his hands above his head, and took the Qingzhi sword from Lu Bu.
"Bo Yan, this is the first time Gu has handed over the command over many years." Lu Bu patted Lu Xun on the shoulder, "Don't let Gu down."
After speaking, Lu Bu turned and left.
Since his debut, Lu Bu has personally commanded every battle and never pretended to be others, because only in this way can he control the battlefield situation freely.
This water battle is the first time that the command has been handed over.
It is true that Lu Bu knows nothing and can only place his hopes on Lu Xun, so Lu Bu has great expectations for Lu Xun.
Lu Xun held up the green sword, and when he heard Lu Bu's words, he felt heavy in his heart.
There must be pressure, and it's extremely high.
But Lu Xun will not be overwhelmed. The reason why a genius is a genius is that he can turn pressure into motivation.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, this battle will definitely be won."
Lu Xun said something silently in his heart, and then kowtowed heavily to Lu Bu's back. .
